Find And Run Robot / Re: Possible bug: F&R using BaseURL instead of URL when launching web shortcuts

« Last post by mouser on September 09, 2005, 03:23 AM »

interesting page on the format of url shortcut files:
http://www.cyanwerks...file-format-url.html

regarding baseurl: "The purpose of these extra fields is probably for the browser to figure out what HTML documents were loaded in each frame, since the main URL tends to not record the state of its framesets."

Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor - License file

« Last post by mouser on September 09, 2005, 02:13 AM »

I understand your frustration.

I have written on this site extensively about why we are doing it the way we are doing it.
We are experimenting with ways to encourage people to donate, while still keeping the software free.  The current approach is that the freeware license keys have to be renewed every 6 months or so, but can be renewed forever.

It's not set in stone, and I do want to hear opinions from people who are upset by it so we can decide whether to keep doing it or not.

I hope you will take some time to look around and read about our motivations and intentions.
Here are a couple of posts and a blog column about the idea of the license keys:

• https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=770.0
• https://www.donation...dc_license_keys.html
• https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=631.0

I have also said this in a couple of places, including the key file page: If you  know you are not going to donate, send me an email i will make you a non-expiring license key.

good suggestions.

and from a programmer's perspective, rar is unacceptable for use in code because of licensing.  i'd much rather use zip or 7-zip.  though im told from another programmer that the 7-zip sdk is a mess.  but there are lots of friendly zip libraries so its only a matter of time for 7-zip.

right and downloaders let you do things like say "download all the mp3s on this page", one after the other.
and even when you have a fast connection, the server might not.

Find And Run Robot / Re: A tip - if you want to use digits in searches..

« Last post by mouser on September 08, 2005, 06:20 AM »

yeah, maybe i should hold off on uploading so frequently.
my best advice to people is if you see me uploading a beta and you aren't the kind that likes to install new beta every couple days, just ignore these betas until i stabilize

1.07.07 uploaded - it was ignoring alt and control modifiers if the "launch with digit keys" was unchecked.

ps.
i have now switched off my launch with digits setting, and configured alt+# to do my launching, and ctrl+# to do launch and stay open.
i'd be interested to hear what others have configured, and waht people thing should be the default setting.

DC Member Programs and Projects / authors with donationware apps but no web space?

If there are other programmers who have written some donationware/freeware and who don't have web space, just email me and we can set some space up for you.

skrommel made a simple start page for such users so far (i love the picture and am thinking about making it, or some version of it,  the new donationcoder.com logo):

Hi Malcolm,

First, welcome to the site.  As i've said in the past, a developer who is interested in hearing what people think and interested in addressing concerns of users is worth their weight in gold.  I'm sure zaine will respond to your questions when he sees this.

This is a good opportunity to remind people here that everyone has different tastes in user interfaces, and has slightly different ways that they use programs.  Users should not just assume automatically that they are going to have the same reaction to a program that a reviewer had.  Use our reviews as a starting point and check out the programs for yourself.
